No tools under the hood.
My 450i had no tool kit, but no loss there. I have my own kit with everything I need, also added a scissor jack from junkyard 10 bucks for one in like new condition.  Look at shift linkage...only place I know of a brass nut.. not happy wih limited selection of windshields when I got my utv (2016) so I made my own fold down windscreen. Top half hinges, bottom half stationary.  Better selection now adays.

I'm gonna hit Harbor Freight and put together a tool kit.  I will take a look at the shift linkage.  That's a place I didn't look. 
Thanks

did you look in the storage compartment in the tailgate ?  it's biggest value is to identify the tool sizes you will need to put together a real tool kit

I picked up a metric socket set and a set of small combo ends wrenches.  Made sure I had socket and breaker bar for wheel studs. Most trail repairs are going to be 10mm and smaller besides the wheel nuts. A good set of screwdrivers especially phillips type in a variety of sizes. A couple pair of pliers of various types. I carry a small bag with pliers, screwdrivers, electrical tape, spare fuses, spare Eclips for shift linkage, wire strippers, a few wire connectors, just items for any on trail electrical repair.  I am sure each person will have there own ideas of what should be carried and only getting out and experiencing on trail issues will help to know what is really needed.
  One thing I forgot to mention was the wrenches need to adjust the tie rods ( toe in/out)  I run run into toe in/out issues after really rough and rugged trail conditions. Only takes a few minutes to "eyeball" the alignment some where close to finnish the ride.  Fortunately these machines are well built so that trail repairs have been few and far between.

I would be willing to bet, that there are no Phillips screws, that instead, the ones that look like Phillips, are really JIS

My tool kit was and still is in the glove compartment.
It’s pretty cheap and I’ll never use it. Just a  few cheap
Tools.

I like it too!
